Sling content loader and JSON files

[Amit Snyderman <am...@nyu.edu>]

Using Sling-Initial-Content for one of our applications and I'd like  
to include a JSON file alongside other content as an `nt:file` rather  
than the JSON being extracted and building out nodes/properties.

Is there anyway to get `ignoreImportProviders`-like functionality for  
specific files?

thanks,
Amit

No, this is not directly possible - the only thing that comes to my mind
is that you separate your content into json files that should be put
into the repo as-is, and json files that should be extracted, so
something like:
src/main/resources/extract/...
src/main/resources/as-is/...

Then you specify two directives for the sling content loading, each one
pointing to one of the paths. For the as-is path you configure the
ignoreImportProviders.
